"Doing the first one in front of a live studio audience was just crazy, and gave us such a shot in the arm, because it was finished in two days," Bettany told Men's Health. "Because it's like, well, there's one [episode] done. You felt this real energy moving forward."

Hahn, who plays Agnes, said the experience was so surreal. "I'll just hold that day to my heart," she told Rotten Tomatoes. She explained that it felt like they were "jumping off this cliff together" with them having no idea how it was going to play out. For this reason, the '50s was her favourite decade to shoot.
